USING YOUR BLENDER

Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use. 
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running. 

1.  Make sure appliance is OFF.
2.  Place ingredients to be blended into jar. For best results, add 

ingredients in the following order:

 1. Liquids 2. Powders 3. Soft foods 4. Hard foods 5. Ice

Tip:

 When using frozen fruits it is not necessary to also add ice.

3.  Place lid on jar; make sure the pour spout and ingredient slot are 

closed.  

4.  Plug power cord into outlet. Press ON/OFF button. LED should 

turn a solid color to signify the blender is in standby mode. 

After 2 

½

 minutes the unit will automatically power off if no 

buttons are pressed.  

Note:

 When in use, do not leave blender unattended. When using hard 

foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in 

place. 

5.  Select the speed that best suits your desired task. (See SPEED 

CHART)

Important: 

Do not hold speed button. Simply press the desired 

speed, watch, and press ON/OFF when the desired consistency is 

achieved. Holding the button for longer than 30 seconds will cause 

the blender to shut off. Unit must be shut off to reset. 

6.  When blending thick mixtures, such as smoothies and milkshakes, 

use the PULSE/Ice Crush button for several seconds, then release. 

Repeat to mix ingredients and then run continuously until food has 

reached desired consistency. Releasing pulse stops the blending 

and the unit returns to STANDBY. You may use a spatula or utensil 

to move ingredients and thick mixtures around in the blender jar, 

but only after stopping the blender. Turn the blender OFF before 

using a utensil.  

USING THE SINGLE SERVE   
BLENDER JAR 

Note:

 Do not blend hot liquids in the single serve jar. 

1.   Place the single serve blender jar on a flat surface with the 

open end facing up. Fill the jar with ingredients. Do not fill 

ingredients past the Max fill line. 

Note:

 For best results, add ingredients in the following order:

1. Liquids 2. Powders 3. Soft foods 4. Hard foods 5. Ice

2.   Place blade assembly in the jar opening with blades down. 
3.   Place jar base onto jar and rotate clockwise until it is tight. It is 

important to tighten to prevent leaking during blending. 

4.   Turn single serve jar upside down and place on the blender 

base. 

5.   Select speed 1 or use PULSE/Ice Crush to blend to desired 

consistency. While blending, keep one hand holding the single 

serve jar.

6.   Once blending has finished, remove the single serve jar by 

lifting off the base. Turn the jar over and place it on a flat 

surface. 

Note: 

Always make sure blades have stopped moving before 

removing jar.

Important: 

If the jar gets stuck on the blending base or begins to 

loosen from the jar base, follow these steps:

a.  Unplug the unit 

b.  Turn the jar clockwise to tighten jar onto the jar base

7.   Remove the jar base from the single serve jar by turning 

counterclockwise. Then carefully remove blade assembly 

8.   Place the single serve jar drinking lid on the single serve jar 

and enjoy your delicious drinks on-the-go.

Important: 

Do not remove the lid while the blender is running. 

8.  When finished, press ON/OFF to stop blending. Make sure blades 

have completely stopped before attempting to remove the 

blending jar from the base (refer to TROUBLESHOOTING for any 

issues).

USING THE PREPROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS 

•  Fill the assembled blender jar with the desired ingredients. 
•  Place the dual-opening lid on the jar.
•  Place the jar on the base.
•  Press desired preprogrammed button. The blender will 

automatically mix and blend the following recipes with the press of 

a button: 

 

-  Smoothie: 30 seconds to blend fruits and vegetables to a smooth 

consistency.

 

-  Icy drinks: Perfect for classic icy drinks like Margaritas with small 

ice crystals.

 

-  Shake/Mix: Create thick, smooth and creamy frozen treats or use 

to combine other ingredients together. 

BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES 

•  Cut food into pieces no larger than 

¾

 for use in the blender. 

•  When preparing foods that have several different kinds of 

ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first. 

•  When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is 

very thick, press the ON/OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove 

the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the 

jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. 

Replace the lid and continue blending. 

•  When making bread crumbs or blending dry goods, make sure 

blending jar and blade assembly are completely dry. 

•  The PULSE/ICE CRUSH function is helpful when short bursts of 

power are needed, such as when preparing thick smoothies or 

milkshakes. Do not use pulse for more than 10 seconds at a time. 

Release the PULSE/ICE CRUSH button regularly, allow the blender 

to rest briefly, then continue. 

•  Do not run blender for longer than 1 

½

 minutes at a time. 

•  Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked. 
•  It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and 

then increase to a higher speed, if necessary. 

•  To stop blending at any time, press the ON/OFF button. 
•  When blending hot ingredients open the ingredient slot. Cover 

lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and use speed 1. Do not blend 

more than 2 

½

 to 3 cups at a time. 

•  Always operate the blender with the lid on the jar. 
•  Do not store foods in the blending jar.
•  Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less 

rather than more).

DO NOT USE BLENDER TO BLEND:

•  Large pieces of frozen foods
•  Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes 
• Bones
•  Hard salami, pepperoni
•  Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)
•  Egg whites
• Dough
• Meats
